(54) Racket


(57) A racket includes a frame portion (11) and a string (20) which is threaded through the frame portion (11) to be interlaced so as to form a first set of parallel string paths (20a), a second set of parallel string paths (20b), and a third set of parallel string paths (20c). The string (20) is threaded through the frame portion (11) via the first, second and third sets of parallel string paths (20a,20b,20c) so that the string forms an approximately planar racket face. The first, second and third sets of parallel string paths (20a,20b,20c) intersect each other by an angle of 120 degrees.
